mmm - not sure if the corsa B bumper will fit - seem to recall it's rounder at the front - also isnt the bumper part moulded round where the lights go?

Think you may struggle to fit it - or for it to at least look right...

however if youve got all the bits no harm in offering the bumper up ti the Nova and have a look...
